Top shelf baitsI have used the 10.5 , 14.5 , 17.5 and 20,5 and have caught bass on all of them . The 10.5 cast great for a small bait and reaches the depths as claimed . The 14.5 has been my most productive . The 17.5 and 20.5 haven't been used a lot but have caught fish . These lures cast great , all run straight and stay in the strike zone longer than any crankbaits I have used . They have quickly become my go to deep divers .

Quetico Park Fish SlayerThis is a summer time must have for when the fish go deep. I bought my first one last year and this year everyone in my group is stocking up on the Dredger. I would troll in the canoe with it about 75+ yards out and everyone would watch me land large fish after large fish. The Dredged catches Walleye, Bass, Northern Pike and Lake Trout.

Ran true right out of the box and to depths.I bought three sizes in a color that catches fish for me. Have tested all three, very happy with the baits. They will produce when the fish gets on a summer pattern of chasing bait more. Note: have caught a lots of fish on the same color using the square bill Pit Bull.

Great action and egts down to the fish!Before writing a review. I wanted to make sure this bait worked as advertised. Well, I have been using it for a little over a month, and have caught many bass on it, including some pigs. It throws well, doesn`t pull to hard, and puts fish in the boat.

New favorite crankbait!I had my line broke by a monster largemouth bass in the Gilly color. Have caught a number of nice fish on it. Have only been using it about 2 months. Got my vote!

Great features, size, and colors.I have stocked up for this tournament year. Not a pro, just a weekend warrior for now. Done a lot of looking and reading, and have chosen Berkley for all my crank baiting this year. Will send photos and stay in touch through out the year. Thank you for a great product.

Smaller profile is easier to fishI have several of these crankbaits for different depths and have found that they dive to the desired depths even though they are smaller than others of the same depth range- that makes them easier to fish and I am able to fish them longer without tiring
